Work From Your Strengths — Not Against Them
When people ask me what I do, I simply say,
“I help people find or create jobs they like and will be good at.”
To me, that means creating a career based on your natural talents and learning to communicate those effectively to people you work with or want to work with. I call that Creating a Strengths-Based Career.
The CliftonStrengths (StrengthsFinder) report gives you language you can use to understand your unique value. When you can explain what these strengths mean to people who you work with now, or those who might hire you, they understand the value of working with you and you can truly work from your strengths.
HOW COACHING WORKS
The Strengths-Based Career Journey
Helping you create a strengths-based career means we start with identifying your strengths, and then we build from there.
STRENGTHS AWARENESS COACHING
When am I at my best?
Taking the CliftonStrengths assessment can show you your Top 5 strengths or all 34 personality strengths in order from top to bottom. You’ll instantly increase self-awareness and confidence reading your personalized results report and gain insights on how to take action on living your strengths through one-on-one coaching.
STRENGTHS-BASED CAREER EXPLORATION
Need a compass to determine your direction?
If you know you need a change but you're not sure what to do, we can break career decisions into smaller pieces to determine how big a change you need to improve your situation and make life more meaningful.
Understanding your strengths can help you transition to a role that better aligns with your natural talents. Learning more about the landscape of an industry and companies who are doing work you care about will help you align your work with your interests. Understanding your values serves as the compass that determines your destination.
We’ll investigate three future selves and I’ll guide you to take steps to see which path is best for you.
STRENGTHS-BASED JOB SEARCH
Need a map?
Once you know where you’re going, we can create a roadmap to get there.
What companies and organizations exist in this industry?
What is happening in this job market?
What strengths and skills do you already have for this career?
What gaps do you need to fill?
How can you build a bridge to reach your destination?
Who do you need to connect with to get information or to position for an opportunity?
How can you best communicate your value as you network?
STRENGTHS-BASED RESUME, COVER-LETTER & LINKEDIN PROFILE
Pack your supplies.
Every journey has a packing list. Today’s job search requires a modernized resume, customized for your strengths and the requirements in the specific job you’re applying for.
The strongest applications also have a strong cover letter that highlights past successes that you can include with your resume. And when you're networking or your application is being considered, employers will look you up online.
We’ll create a LinkedIn profile that showcases your strengths, skills, accomplishments, training, and education — and teach you how to use it to connect and communicate professionally.
STRENGTHS-BASED INTERVIEWING
What will I talk about?
If you know and understand your strengths, you can talk about them effectively in interviews. I’ll help you understand how you’ve used your strengths in the past and help you remember situations where you got great results.
We’ll develop stories you can tell in interviews and impactful questions you can ask that help the interviewers know you’ve done your research and can show what you’ll bring to the job.
WHO I WORK WITH
Support for Professionals, Leaders, and Coaches at a Career Crossroads
I work with people who have big questions about what’s next, who want support and guidance to figure it out and then need help to get there.
Early & Mid-Career Professionals
Seeking a career change or searching for new jobs to understand their natural talents, identify opportunities in the current market to use those talents, and communicate their value effectively to people who can hire them.
Executive Leaders & Mid-Level Managers
Who want to lead from their own strengths and lead strengths-based teams. When teams are working from their strengths and have hope for their careers, people are more productive, employees are happier, and even in the midst of changing economic conditions, people stay and grow.
Coaches & Entrepreneurs
Interested in integrating the strengths-based approach into your business practices, coaching, or programs. I offer mentor coaching to help you create a business based on your own strengths.
I meet with clients across the world by Zoom.
MY APPROACH
A Strengths-Based Framework for Meaningful Work
I’ve developed a unique way of looking at a career, combining my training in Strengths with my knowledge of Career Development to help all the people I serve create strengths-based careers.
I’m a Gallup Certified Strengths Coach, which means I’m trained in using the CliftonStrengths assessment to help you identify your natural talents. You’ll get detailed insights in your Top Strengths with personalized reports, and then learn how to communicate your strengths throughout the job search process.
